The field report of R. TV. Dallas, sec retary of the Coalinga Oil Producers' agency, for the month of December lias just been completed. The production for the month was 1,278,258 barrels, bringing the total production of the field for the year 1900 to 15,142,944 bar rels. The field report shows a decrease from the previous month in produc tion, although an Increase In activity Is noticeable In almost every Instance. The transportation difficulties on the west side caused the holding back of production. The storage was high from the month previous, and In December 148,191 barrels were added to it. The shipment shows an increase of 1203 bar rels over November, which was main tained by the east Bide field. Shipments on the west side fell off 61,480 barrels, while on the east side the increase amounted to 52,651 barrels. There were 564 producing wells in i ember, as against 543 in November. This is the greatest number" of! the year. Last January there were but 414 pro ducers, There were three new produc ers in the east field and eighteen in the wost Held. In the South Field ■ In the south field the old Black Dia» mond well of the South Oil company was on the pump, producing fuel for operations in the vicinity. The east field had one new rig and the west field two more. Two outfits suspended in the south field, while three quit In the east end.

The purpose of the Independents will not he served nor their ends attained unless the membership is increased by acquisition of those who if not now, then in the near future, will bo fur nishing the market with the oil with which that market can be depressed. As the agency's plan has been sufli ciently successful to raise the price of oil from below 20 cents to about CO cents a barrel, It would soem that pro ducers generally would partake of membership in the organization, but that is not the case. Numbers of these are holding out, and unless they or a majority of them do come in there will be no recourse for this agencies but to close the door and prepare to beoonie a corporation producing and handling its own oil to its own advantage, regardless of what effect Its course may have upon others. CALIFORNIA MIDWAY ENCOUNTERS GAS AND OIL SPOTS IN WELL A telephone' message received last night from David Klncey, superinten .l. Nt of the California Midway Oil com pany, operatl In section 32, 21-23, North I.:idway, said that well No. 1, which has been eagerly watched by Investors In LOS Angeles for some time, had reached a depth of 2685 feet in a hard brown halo formation and at tr* t depth was carrying large quanti ties of gas and spots of oil. Kinsey said ho believed the oil sand would bo reached within the next 80 or 75 feet. He said the well vas in ex cellent condition and that no setbacks were anticipated. ■ ' This well la one of the deepest in the North Midway field and it Is estimated It will develop into a producer equal if not superior to the Santa Fe well in section 6 which has caused so much comment this winter. The California Midway company's ■well No. 2 has reached I depth of 275 feet and well No. 3 will spud In either today or tomorrow. This company owns 160 acres in the proven North Midway oil belt and is surrounded by properties of the Santa 1.-, St. Lawrence and the Crandall. The company is controlled entirely by Los Angeles capital. Frank A. Oar butt Is vice president and general man nger and unions others interested with him in the enterprise are J. B. New man and D. W. Wickersharo. ARE READY TO DRILL TAFT, Jan. 21.—Captain Weed,, Billy Schultze of Marlcopa i.nd Dr. Bass of Son Francisco have three rigs up on section 22-32-24 In . the Buena Vista hills ready to drill. JAMES WYNKOOP ARIZONA MAY LEAD AGAINST MONTATA IN COPPER OUTPUT Final Figures Will Show Territory Practically Three Hundred Million Pounds, and with Many New Camps This Year It Promises to Break World's Production Record In the copper estimates for last year . it has been figured that once again Montana leads the world. This means Butte, for all the production of the state comes practically from that one camp. Rut all flguers are not in yet and the lotal max- show that Arizona was outdone by .Montana by only a very small margin, both producing within a few million pounds of 300,000, --000. if in the final Bgures it is found that Montana leads, tlii.s will be only a temporary advantage, for when the new camps of Arizona are marketing copper Montana will be left far behind anil will never again approach Aritona, With the production of the new mines of Arizona in full swing the territory will double its present output. At present the production all comes from four old camps, Blsbee, Cllfton- Morencl, Globe ami Jerome) some small amounts coming from one or two of the newer camps. The big new camps that will add materially to Arizona's output are Miami, Hay. Courtland, Sil ver Bell, London and ttie Parker coun try- Most of these newer en nips will be larger than any of the older camps, this being especially true of Miami, Ray and London. Taking the Parker country to include all that section of the country of western Arizona, it will also be true in this ca.=e. Four Promising Camps So Arizona has four camps that will be greater producers than any of the camps-already producing, besides hav ing two other notable districts, to gay nothing' of many individual localities that -will produce copper in commer cial Quantities. The statement that the territory will soon double its cop per production is not the rash state ment that it might appear to one un familiar with the situation. For the time the remarkable devel opment of the Ray Consolidated and Miami has rather centered attention strongest on these two camps and their wonderful properties. ISut there arc others, one being the London dis trict that is believed to give excep tional promise and thought by many well Informed copper men to have the making of one of the. greatest copper camps in the world. Courtland, where the Copper Queen and Calumet ami Arizona companies, two of the greatest copper mining concerns in the world, are developing splendid properties and already maintaining some production. Silver Bell, where the Imperial and El Tiro are located, will produce this year approximately 30,000,000 ponuds. The Clara Consolidated and the Planet, in tlie Parker country, the latter proper ty owned by the Lewisohns, will both give a good account of themselves, as both properties are ones of great promise. In the Miami District In the Miami district there are four large properties besides the Miami, namely, the Cordova, Inspiration, the New Keystone and the Live Oak. De velopment has shown that these all compare favorably with the Miami, and it is even believed the ores will average nearly one-half per cent high er than the Miami, STATE SEEKS DATA ON MINERAL PRODUCTION The f.'nllfornla State Mining bureau is now engaged in the collection of statistics of the mineral production of the state for 1909, and in that Impor tant matter, that justice may be done to every county and producer, State Mineralogist Ijenis BS. Aubury is send ing out circular* calling ft>r data. The mining bureau Ik an agency tor mak ing known, nil over the world, the mineral resources of California, through a series of statistical bulletin! published annually, and by books and pamphlets, all of which haveia large circulation. The statistical returns supplied by the producers are uidis- I ponaable to make these publications give full credit to the counties and the state. The text of the circular, signed by Lewis X, Aubury. is as follows: "The law makes it a part of thu duty of the state mineralogist to as certain annually the amount and value mT each of the mineral productions of California, and in order to do this it ; is necessary to have a complete and , correct list of all persons and compa- | nies owning or operating; mines, quar ries, oil wells, etc. The object of this is to send out Inquiries in order to ascertain from the replies the amount I and value of the product of the re spective properties oneh year. "These replies are never published, exhibited to any one, or made public in any way. The figures submitted are used only in making up totals of the j different substances in the various counties of the state. Will Keep Confidence , "The bureau realizes perfectly that owners of properties do not care to have any one in their line of business, ; or any other, know exactly what their output or its value may be. For this reason every care is taken that such matters .will be kept entirely secret. It is necessary, however, to obtain separate individual returns in order ( to make up the. totals. For this rea son, every one receiving one of the blank* of Inquiry i» earnestly urged to till it out and return it at once to this bureau, giving amount and value of product tor the year, and any change of address. i •■The annual statistical tables of | mineral production by the state mln- , ins bureau have long been recognized ] as being the most complete and cm- , rect of those published in nny state l in the union. They lire usoful to the , general public, but even more so to , the producer! of mineral substances, who may thus learn exactly the con dition of their special branch each year, the total amount produced and its value. If each producer will as- j sist the state mineralogist by promptly | replying to inquiries, much labor anil j time may be suved. The matter is , really one of mutual benefit, the oh- j Ject of- the mining bureau being to promote the mining industry of the state In every way. One of the ways is in keep a correct account of what the miners are doins and how much ( wealth they are adding to the world 1 each year. Without some showing of ( (his kind, from official sources, the ( press and general public will have only a vague Idea of what the miners of th,- st.ite ale accomplishing. If the | miners themselves will furnish the de tulls of their own operations, the state mlolnj bureau win do the work of pre- , oaring and Dublishine the matter in a i I.OS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MOKXIXC. .lAXI'ARY 22. 3010. At Ji;iy surpassing ail is the Ray Consolidated, with the greatest body of developed copper ore in the world, said to be over 50,000,000 tons, averag ing a litlle over 2 per cent. This won derful development, with the attend ant financing success, has put the price of the stock from a few dollars fifteen months ago to $2,T a share, the present price, Adjoining the Kay Consolidated arc the Hay Central, Qlla and the Her cules, all three having large bodiei ol ore which eventually will maintain a large production. IP thr Qlla river ten miles two miles west of Wlnkelman and two miles be low th.' Overland property the Ray iolidated has started to erect a smel ter and a concentrator that will be the largest concentrator in the world. Within a year the first unit of the plant will be completed. This site is named Hayden and was selected on ac count of the abundant .supply of wa ter and topographic conditions. Its proximity to the central part of the London camp will prove very advan tageous, as from this it can secure the exact fluxing ores needed with which to smelt the concentrates. East from Winkelman East from Winkelman several hun dred men are working on an extension of the Phoenix & Eastern railroad that will be completed to the cast end of the London camp to the Saddle Moun tain mine recently taken over by Frank M. Murphy, president of the branch lines of the Santa Fe in Ari j Bona. Upon completion of this con nection to the Saddle Mountain, now called the Qlla ''upper Sulphide com pany, production will be started and the ores shipped to the fiasco smelter, owned by the Murphy interests. Extending vest from the Gilu Sul phide, in the order named, are the London Arizona, London Range, Over land. Crusade, Como and Armada properties, seven cupper properties, with the Qlla Sulphide, covering four miles of ground. From the character of the ores the showing and the struc tural conditions it is thought that this four miles will prove uni: of the great est districts in the country, comparing favorably with the other great copper localities of Arizona and produce cop per as cheaply as it can be produced on the continent. Like Ray, this camp has an abundance of good wa ter and railroad transportation, two very important considerations in cop per mining, It is known that the ores from the Murphy property contain the proper composition to make a natural smelting mixture, which all tends to facility in smelting and cheapness of production. In this respect the ores arc like the Granby ore in British Co lumbia. Understanding the result of the years development in these properties and all the conditions that surround them and the investigations made by competent people, it Is evident the, cop per supremacy of Arizona rVi not in danger. For considering all things, especially the cost of producing cop per, Arizona leads the world and will maintain this position for a generation at least. ACCUMULATES LARGE QUANTITY OF OIL IN COALINGA SUMP HOLE "Now York f'oalinKH In accumulating a large quitntify of oil in its huge sump hole on tin* property, according to advices from C'oallnga yesterday.
